Must confess I am tempted @SmithyInWelly
-
http://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2855922392 needs work and high km (not compared to yours @Jacko) but well in budget

Think this is @SmithyInWelly's old one? http://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2855922392 Doesn't sound like it's had a great deal of love since it left him though. No sports seats in a 330i is a travesty, and it's a bit GFC era in its spec.
-
The TUV inspection is to a very high standard, any modifications must be certified and it's quite intensive...as you'd hope with no Autobahn speed limit.
-
Don't want to turn the thread into a political slanging match but I 100% agree that annual emissions testing / more independent entry certification / WOF testing (including suspension check / snow tires banned except in Winter in SI) would only be a good thing. odds of it happening ~0 IMO.

This doesn't fit with the kindness paradigm @Olaf
-
My F31 needs new wipers. Any local recommendations for good value / quality or shall I order from Schmiedmann / the UK?
-
wheels look great. i find the m stripes on the grille a bit JDMyo but YMMV ?♂️
-
@Kiwi_BMW it's a Jap import - km =/ engine hours!
-
Ancient filthy diesels are the thing that winds me up. The 90's trucks are disgusting
-
Well over M2 / F80 M3 money. would rather have the S55 thanks.
-
Orient blue is a lovely colour. This looks great!
-
@Driftit my story is exactly the same - even down to having my car in the workshop all morning to tell me that they didn't have the part and didn't know when it would be in.
-
I'll take an F3x 330d/335i for that kind of cash...
-
GLWS - i find this very tempting! pedant in me also likes that it's on its original plates
-
not sure if this engine is more or less correct than the last one. but the car it's in is in better shape
-
none of the LCI's have a V8 in them for <10k though agree F11 528i would be a big step up.
-
very nice, imo needs that Japanese front plate plinth removed though
-
NZ new V8? (valve stem seals may need doing?) Price looks reasonable though.Well specced - looks like probably a display car given registered Mar 2006, manufacture Aug 2004... WOF history looks very clean with only one fail in 14 years. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2830748086

Nice LMB over saddle brown e82
-
Seems extraordinary that otherwise well specced JDM 130i's don't come with it, although I guess my E91 didn't have it either.
-
throwing stars + techno violet = 90's classic! ?
-
would tend to steer clear of that dealer...quality of their stock is often poor, cheap =/ good value
-
Edition 30 are nicely specced (no sport seats in the F30 though, unlike the F20) and the ZF 8 speed / diesel combination is a winner.
